10 OUTDOOR PORTS. Great Increase and Improvement in Racing and Trotting Horses. POLO AND COACHING. ‘Yachting, Boating, Base Ball, Foot Ball and Other Games. The redord of sporting events in this country during the past year oxhibits a great advance on preceding years. With the taste for outdoor und manly amuso- ments has come a disposition among the best and weaith- est of our citizens to apply their means and per- Sonal influence to forwari among the rest of the noble pastimes that of horse racing, until it becomes as fa- mihar to the people as the Derby or the Newmarket Taces in England. Horse racing on the present scale js comparatively new to this country, but it is rapidly attracting the interest and attention of many of our most foremost citizens, aud tt is such a sport as enlists the feelings of the great majority of men, and in our work-a-day world whatever takes away from the mor- bid pursuit of dollars and cents aud gives us manly and healthiul amusement should be greeted with accla- | mation. fhe year now drawing to a close nas been fraught with important outdoor sporting events. Faster time bas not only been made by our racehorses, both run- hers and trotters, than ever before, but we have them in greater numbers, New games have been introduced and old ones improved; and it is now evident that the interest taken bythe youth of the country m manly sports must be of great advantage to them in physical development, The sporting history of America bas kept well abreast with the growth of the nation, It needs no long memory to recall the birth and growth of every outdoor sport that is now indulged in; yet few who gaye in past years an carnest thought to the progress ot manly sports on this continent would have dared to predict the vast strides that have been accomplished up to the present time. In ashort lifo- time a pastime formerly coniined to a few | States of the Union bas come to embrace nearly all, apd the ennobling amusement of tho turf is now universally sought after by all classes of our people. ‘Together with the turf, both running and trotting, the polo and coaching clubs, devoted to pleasurable riding and driving, have increased jn num- bers, aud are at the present time making new acquisi- | tions to their spirited horses and elegant drags, Yacht- ing, rowing, football, base ball, handball, pigeon shooting, fox hunting and every imaginable sport conducive to health has been vigorously indulged in during the present year. Among the many grand racing events the best by all adds has been the great periormance of Mr. F. B, Harper's bay colt Ten Broeck, vy imported Phaeton, dam Fanny Hoiton, by Lexington, four years old, He has beaten the record of Lexington, that stood at the head of fast time for nineteen years, four sec ouds, and Felloweraft’s time three and three-quarter teconds, making the four miles, apparently with great tase, in 7:15. Besides the great __per- formance of Teu Brocck with Mr. Crouse’s vay colt Add at four miles, he ran three 8 with the same horse the week previous in 4g, which was haif a second faster than the time dad ever been made in before. Ten Broeck was, how- Wer, beaten once during the year, and that was at Lexington at the May meeting, when Aristides, by Leamington, dam Sarong, defeated him in a race of iwo miles and ap eighth in the fastest time at that dis- dunce ever made, Viz. :—3:45'y. Aristides was then brought East, and soon atterward went amiss and it is very doubtiul if he ever again appears on the turf, With Ten Broeck and Aristides Tom Ochiltreo’s name teserves a place, as he also bas made his mark during ihe racing season, He won many good races, and was aeaten but twice—once by Parole at a mile and a quarter and again by Add ia a raco of two mile heate— and in both instances ‘Tom was certainly “olf.” Bis owner, Mr. George Lorillard, after the autumn meeting at Jerome Park, offered to aatch Tom Vebiltree against Ten Broeck, for $10,000 a side, a dash a four miles, the race to be run aban extra meeting at Terome Park, but Mr. Harper refused the ofler, and sxcused himseit vehind the silly pretext of fear of in- ury to his horse sbould he send him over the Aile- shanies to ran the mach. Tom Ochiltree has proved himself a capital racehorse at ail distances, by beating all the horses he has ruu against with the exception of Add, and thero is no doubt tat should they mect igain, boih well, Tom Ocniltree will prove the winner, is he was not hinself when he ran against Add in he race. The best raco of the year that Ochiltree nade was for the Centenmal Cup, at Jerome Park, luring the antuma = meety wbea he beat Acrobat, Big Sandy and D'Artagnan at four milos im a big Tallop. Acrobat had rua a good race av Long Branch 1 four miles heats previously, distancing Coionel Nelligan and Busy Bee im the first beat, and Chesa- peake in the second very easily; but when he met Tom Vehiltree he was just as easily disposed of by the big horse as the others were by him. Aaron Pennington ran some capital races in the early part of the season, but he broke down at Saratoga atter beating Preston a two-mile-dash, carrying 117 Ibs., in 3 OF the three-year-olds, Vigil finished the racing season with the greatest éclaf, by winning the Breck- yuridge and Dixie stakés at Baltimore and by beating 3t. Martins at the extra meeting at Jerome Park, the ast being one of the gamest contests that was ever tun, the whole of the last milo being a driving affair, md Vigil was whipped ané spurred at every jump tor nearly amile, He responded gamely to the per- saasion and won the raco by a head. Vigil, like Ten Broeck, began the season without being up to the mark in condition, ran himself into perfect order by bis several engagements, and seemed to be unbeatable at the termination of the racing season, The other teal yoOd three-year-olds of the year were #iddle- sticks, by Lexington, dam Filigree; Brother of Bas- rett, by Lexington, dam Canary Bird; Sultana, by Lex. | by Kentucky, dam ‘ngton, dam Mihired; Bertram, Bernice; Algerine, by Avd-el-Kader, dam Nina Creedmore, by Asteroid, dam Target; Vagrant, by “rail, dam Lazy ; Parole, by Leamington, dam Maiden; Pera, by Leamington, dam Maggie B.

NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, ing year, will make 1877 unusually exciting im racing. Belie of the Meade made the fastest two-year-old time ou record—1L:it THE FAST TROTTERS have increased during the present ycar wonderfully, the most extraordinary one being Great Bastern, who made bis first appearance ou the track this season at Rochester, on august 11, where be mado himself famous by winniog the first heat of the race in 2:19 and the other two bests in 2:21 and 2:2135.- He after. ward trotted in 46 at Utica, Afterward he beat Smuggler in two match waces, trotted second to Rarus in the free-tor-all race at Fleetwood Park, where Judge Fullerton, Frank Reeves, Lucille Golddust and -mug- gler were the other competitors, Great Eastern is sev- enteen hands two inches bigh, a bay, with two white hee sidering his enormous height. He wos sired by Wallkill Chief, out of a mare by Consterna- tion, He was foaled October 10, 186%. This horso will have to take his place next year in the troe- for-all class, with the little queen of the trotting turf, Goldsmith Maid, who, notwithstanding her great age, still leads the van in nearly every action she is epgaged in. She hasbeen beaten this year by Smug- ler, but for one Ohyer she gave him half a vozen Rolands, Another phenomenon that has sprang into notice this year 1s the four-year-old filly Sadie Beil, the winner of the Republic race, at Philadelphia, for four-year-olds, at the Brecders’ Centennial meeting at that place September 29. She was bred in a part of the country that has not been distinguished for the development of trotters—on the coast oa Vir- ginia—by a gentleman named Duncan, whose farm is on a little Island off the penin- sula formed by Accomac and Northampton counties, Her daw was worked op Mr, Duncan's farm, aud of whoso breeding nothing is absolutely known, Her sire was called Oden Kell, When three years old Sadie was taken up, broken to barness and put tothe plough, She was not destined, however, for such dradgery, and soon began to show speed, Atter changing owners, at four years old, she was brought on the track, and made her first appearance at Lan- caster, Pa, on September 5 of the present year, mak- ing a heat 1 2:39. On September 13, at Point Breeze, sho trotted in 2:32, 2:82, 2:33, which was considered about the best sustained performance of a four-year- old, Qn account of this fine display of speed she was made the favorite tor the Centennial race, notwith- stanuing she had for opponents such good ones as Woodford Chief, Montezuma, Lady Patchen, Echura, Post Boy and Girl E. Queen. Sadie Bell won the first, second and fourth heats, the third heat being won by Woodford Chief. Tho time was 2:34, 2:3413, 2:34. Sadie Bell stands fif- teen hands one inch high and js rather lightly built. Her color is a cream ehestnut, with a flaxen mano and tai Sho basa good head, with considerable brain development, and a neat sot of rather lengthy limbs, Her quarters are strong, but her hips are very ragged. She goes very wide behind when going at full speed, Sadie Bell has a bright career before her, as she must naturally increase her speed and become very fast with age. Blackwood, Jr., is another grand specimen of the trotting horse that has shown up for the first time, Ho is sixteen and a half hands high, of magnificent confor- Mation and speed equal to 2:200na fair track. He trotted at Philadelphia at the Breeders’ Mecting and won the National Statlion Cup in 2:23 and the second mile in 2:2353. The handsome manner in which be did the work filled the public eye with admiration, as the wind was blowing a gale at the time and the track was not fast, Blackwood, Jr., is six years old, and will, no doubt, become taster with age, During the septilateral circuit of last summer a great mapy trotting horses lowered their record, Mambrino Kate mado her mark, 2:2434; Irene, ; Governor Sprague, 2:20; Enfield, 2:29; Dick Swivel- ler, 2:26; Little Fred, 2:21; Amy B:, May Bird, 2:223¢ 1m harness and 2:193{ under the saddle; Annie Collins, 2:25; Commonwealth, 2:22; General Grant, 2:21; Mattie, 2 Ins, 2:233; Planter, Marion, 2:23; Bay, 2:27!;; Sam Purdy, Cosette, Adelaide, 2:2213; Slow Go, Bella, Albemarle, Dan Bryant, Thorndale, 2:22\4; Frank, 2:22%; Allen, Proctor, 2:23; Big Fellow, 2:27%; 443 Carrio N., 2:27; William H., 2:20; Goldsmith Maid, at Buffalo, 2:16, 2:1 ; Smuggler, 2:15\¢; Lowinskl, 2:26%; Mazo-Manio, 2:23; Elsie Good, 2:23};; Hannah D,, 2:2234; Ella Madden, 2 May Queen, 2:20; Rarus, 2:20%, and Carrie, 2:24 By the above list of records it will be secn that the trotting horses of Americaare notonly in- creasing in speed, Lut they are imcreusing in numbers most rapidly, and consequently adding great wealth to the country by their increased value. POLO. Tho highly exciting game of polo, inaugurated by the formation of the Westchester Club, during the present year bas become quite popular, and other clubs are form- ingall over the country. Boston bag one club, Hartiord another, Chicago two elubs, Texas one and California one, which 1s now in this city, headed by Captain TH Mowry, the celebrated long distance rider, Gentlemen in other cities are purchasing mallets ana balls to practice and learn the game, with aview to the formation of clubs, The Westchester Club have become very proficient in the game and can cope with auy polo players in this or any other coun- try. The Boston Club have also become very expert play- ers and they will play tho Californians at the Hippo- drome on Thursday evening next, when the public will have an opportunity to witness the game by most ex- cellent players. The Texas players have a great ad- Vantage over the clubs in this part of the country, they have the best ponies for the purpose at their very doors aud can possess themselves of the choicost at a sinall expense. COACHING has also become very popular, and many gentlemen are indulgiug in that kind of healthy and exhilarating enjoyment, The Coaching Club of this city has made" several fine displays during the year, thelr semi-annual parades giving great pleasure to the beholders, and it has been pleasing to witness the delight people ex- pressed at the starts and returns of Mr. Kane’s conch from the Hote! Brunswick during the coaching season, We learn that a great acquisition is being made to the Coaching Club of tars city, and new coaches are being built for the club, go that at the next regular parade of the club the numbers will be iargely increased. YACHTING, From the opening in May, when the miniature yachts on Prospect Park Lake drew crowds of spectators, through the numerous regattas, cruises, cup contests, matches and Corinthian races, the season was excep- tionally brilliant, The most important events were the following: —The annual regattas of the New York, Brooklyn, Atlantic and Seawaphaka clubs, the Corin- thinn races, and the ocean schooner regatta of the Seawanhaka, and the Centennial regatta in New York harbor, open to yachts of all nations, Then the annual cruises of the Brooklyn, Atlantic and New York clubs, The iatter was conspicuous trom the tact that the yachts cruised furtner to the eastward and kept together as a squadron longer than ever before, One of the exciting events of the year was the race for the Queen's Cup, tn Now York barbor, by the Countess of Dufferin and the Madeleine, The latter was victorious, Tho fall rogattas were by the Now York, Bayonne, Williamsburg, Long Island and other clubs, Next tollowed the Ceniennial regatta to Cape Then the Ben- nett Challenge Cap race from Sandy Mook Light to Brenton’s Reet Light and return, by the Idler, A notublo event during the summer was the trip of the Seawanbaka Club to the Contennial at Philadelpiia, The minor clubs each bad ils annual Togatta, and im several instances Corinthian races, The champion pennant races of the Brooklyn and At- lantic clubs were interesting, and a litting wind up of the season’s work, The very Just event, however, was the race for the Loubat Cup from Sandy Hook Light to Cape Mayandreturn, The Idler and Atalanta, ot the New York Yacht Club, wore the only contes- tants, and the race was won by the Atalanta. In open and medium sized boats greater speed has been ob- tained this year than ever bofore, . BOATING. Among (be chief evonts of the boating season wero the victories of the Yale, Beaverwyck, Northwestern, anda strip, and seems rather lightly built con- | Cap. | The cop was won | Nopiune, Atalanta and Sbo-wa-ca-mette rowing clubs | at Springdeld, Philadelphia, Harlem, Michigan and Greenwoot Lake. The Atalanta Club opened the boat. ing season proper on the Harlem River, and with the excoption of one race swept tho fold, At Saratoga Lake the Atalanta four, expecting to head tho list, were Deaten unexpectedly by the Northwestern and Sho-Wa-ca-mette crews, At this regatta tuo hardest and best rowing ever achieved in this country was done iv every style of rowing. James Kiley, in singlo sculls, not only beat Courtney's best time over tho emo course, but mado tho fastest two-mile | suffering from tho severity of time on record In double sculls the Nep- tune representatives, Riley and Keator, also distinguished themselves by coming in second to the famous Courtney and Yates crew, Tho Tegatias on the Schuylkill, both national and inter- national, were unsatisfactory fn many respects, There was no reason why they should not have been the most successiul ever held in the United States, The Yale tour showed its pluck, mettle and grit when pitted against the famous London Rowiug Club tour, and gave that crew the closest and hardest race of the regatta. Though the Beaverwyck crew subsequently beat the Londoners, there is no doubt that the Yale men could “get away with’ the Albanians in a three mile contest. The Columbia College crew, unfortu- pate all through the season, made a good aisplay against the mishaps which befell the four and six i nearly all tbe races they entered, Courtney sustained his previous reputation of bemg a hard man to beat No one has yet been able to get near enough to him to know how fast he can make a boat travel. In the beginning of the season a New York crew, of which John Biglin was stroke, promised well. At an early stage of their training they beat, with ease, the well-Kuown Fauik- ner-Reagan crew, which Bostonians considered well nigh invincible. This crow was broken up by the de- fection of Biglin and his withdrawal from the crew previous to the Centennial contest, ‘The Halifax men, though they lost the championship of the world on the Schuylkill, proved their ability, by their fine rowing, to beable to contest the claim of those who won it. The last regatta of the season wag held at Greenwood Lake, It tended to show the rowing strength of the Neptune Rowing Club, It was here Julian Kennedy and James Riley appeared for the first time in pairs, and surprised every one. They are to- day the most formidable pair in the country, In the professional race on the same lake Plaisted proved that, aS a sculler, whoever will beat him will have to row last, The season, taken altogether, was a busy one, New crews and new scullers came to the front, In competition with the foreign varsmen it was found that the Americans had vastiy improved in tho last few years, and should a crew or sculler be sent trom this country next ycar or the year after to England, which 18 not unlikely, there will be less Teagon to ap- prehend defeat than there has been in years gone by. BASE BALL has had {ts votaries, but it has not veem as popular with the masses during the present as it was the year ortwo previously, and this falling off Ia popularity bas been occasioned by the mismanagement of those who have had the various clubs in charge, They have been offering premiums for the best players, und paying salaries and giving» political offices to players to leave one clu td go to another, and some of these paid experts have been suspected of speculating in defeats, It is hoped that next year a revising of the players inthe several clubs will insure confidence with the public, and that the “national game” will be as popular as tt was a few years ago and should evor be, The National Base Ball Leaguo has just finished its session at Cloaveland, Ohio, and all the world are anxious to know what has beop done in the shape of reform, FOOTBALL, Anew pastime has just taken possession of the youth of our jand, although it bas been indulged in for centuries in the Old World. We allude to the game of football, one of the most exciting and healthful pas- times that our young men can indulge th, Our col- jegians have adopted the Rugby rules, and nenceforth we may expect to witness the game on all the vacant fields on the outskirts of our cities, The above modes of strengthening the human frame and insuring longevity wo hopo to sec encouraged from one ond of the country to the other. But there are many other ways of taking healthful exercise than those enumerated above, which can be taken by those who cannot get out of the city to enjoy the fresh air—dumb- bells, Indian clubs, boxing, dancing, the skipping rope and many otber ways in which the muscles can be developed, the chest expanded and the general bealth of man and woman improved and preserved, which, without exercises soon goes to decay, FOOTBALL, AN EXCITING GAME WITH THE THERMOMETER FOURTEEN DEGREES BELOW THE FREEZING POINT—YALE VS, COLUMBIA—YALE THE WINNER. With the thermometer fourteen or more degrees below the freezing point, the wind biowing a gale from the north, and the ground being hard as irop, the mateh game of football between the teams of Columbia and Yale colleges came to an issuo yesterday ufter- noon on the St, George’s Cricket Club enclosure at Hoboken, resulting in favor of Yalo by two goals to none That this exciting pastime is becoming very popular and possesses attractions that, despite tho supremacy of all other out- door sporis, needs no stronger proof than that for two hours during the progress of the game of yesterday some three hundred spectators, including two or three ladies, remained on the ground to witness the strug- at the expense of irozen cars and feet and hands. To keep warm, whatever the clothing worn, was imposai- ble, Foot races wero improvised, jig dances and stamping matches indulged in, but all to no purpose, and everybody remained disagreeably cold, Tho game was played by eleven on a side, and the Ragby Union rules governed. Yale with the same magnificently apportioned team, with but a single ception, that taught Harvard and Princeton les- sons not easily forgotten, came to the ground in carriages, finding the Columbia representatives ready to receive them. The Yorkers jacked the physical beauty and the muscle of their oppouenis, and they were also wanting in the shrewd, ness and in the science which the New Haven lads brought to bear when they were in tight places, Since Yale adopted the Rugby Union provisions as now played by the leading college clubs she has never been defeated, wuile justice compels the statement that Columbia made a stubborn and creditable defence yesterdvy, considering the limited practice the team has had, FIRST GOAL. Shortly after three o'clock tne field was covered with cancing athletes, clad in Ulsters and tur caps and gloves, but “time’’ bing calied superfluous clothing was dropped into hanas of friends uwoug the crowd of spectators, and tho blue aud white uniforms of the 5 both teams dressing almost alike—pr F appearance in the benuimoing atmo: phere. re Was 4 moment's hesitation and Start iti? “Don't let us treezo!’’ came from the tweny- two thinly-clad gentlemen, when, at a three P. M., the referee shouted *Reé had won the toss and elected that otf against (he roshing wind. Baker, the pop ular captain of the visitors, made a capital job of this business, sending the bail well down into Co.wmbna’s territory, bat it was caught in grand style © ‘ale shouid kick | by Weeks, who cleverly shot it back, when nimble Hatch and sturdy Thompson, of Yale, treated the spec- tutors to a neat bit o: play aod pretty runs, which were rewarded with cheers. The result of Yule’s ol- forts well nigh proved successiul, but the Columbias defended their position with carnestoess and Morgan's alertness saved a touch down, Already were the i: e Weather and whe stony nature of the ground, Men wore collared and changed and they pitolied and tossed each other about as if they were infants, while occa- | sionally the rough and tumble allowed sent more than one tmoderate sized player bead over hboels, Alter lively play im the coutre of the field, in which clever tackling was noticeable, Walker, of Yate, missed tho mark i throwiag tho leather to a coniederate, whon Train, of Columbia, caught it neatly, aud with a long run secured the lirst tovcu down, ‘The “iry at goal’ was made vy Pryor kicking, but he failed to put the bail over the string. It was d barrow escape lor Yale. Now the New Haven lads warmed to their Work, and, following the leather | after che Kick? off, was, soom dangerously near tho Jolumbia’s stron |. That maguiticent forward, Wiliam H. Taylor, of Yale, spun across the field against tie wind with the velocity of a bullet, and haifa dozen Columbias who endeavored to stop his pro- gress ascertained what bis strong arm and sturdy limbs could do, tor they tell around him like men of straw, But at last he came to grief, the | bail was sent buck, when Thompson, of Yale, took the matter in hand, and he wont booming toward the home club's fortress in his brillant way, sending op- ponents right and lett in a manner that was a caution, Radford, of Columbia, made a prifiiavt effort to check his career, but he was sent thumping to the earth in such a 'mauner that ho was compelied to roure altogether, Then the Columbias rallied, and alter a bitter straggle Worts, of Yale, socured the leather, and running bebind Columbia’s goal seomed a touch down, The “try at goal’ was successiul, for Bigelow raised tue ball by a | beautiful place kick High over the siring, thus securing first goat tur Yale tu 44a. Just 15 seconds belore “timo’? was called, it being agreed to pay one our and awalf, and stopping at the end of torty-t minutes jor a breathing spell SECOND GOAL Tue second goal Was short and sweet. Sides were changed, and at the word Captain Price, of tue Col- umbias kicked the ball off in clever shape. It landed in the nergiborhood of Thompson, who, In conjunction with Walker acd W. C, Camp, carried it into the Comm bias’ Imes, Hf the latter had it hut oelore it was hower | now, and their fine dofence was beginning to give way, Tt Was “Night or Biavher’’ for New York. A well planned attack by Yal right wing alter the ball had vis | been in touch, seconded by galinnt work in the centre, toll ite tale, and aftr Bigelow bad “punted” the | leather out. Haker with a fast ton was im an instant be- | hind Columbia's goal posts. Tue sry?” w | fal, as Bigelow again, with a splendid place kick, sout the ball clean throngh and over the strin: —— the second goal to Yale in just 2m. 30s, The ups an downs in this short time would Lave been worthy of the grandest efforts of the champion wrestler, Mo- Laugbim. ‘THE FINAL RFYORT. There was nothing for it. Columbia had to face Yalo once more in the tied. Captain Price kicked off, and for forty-live minutes the game continued with de- termination, Each side fought with great pluck, bat never to great advantage. ‘be ball was more than once in dangerous proximity to the goal posts, when concentrated play saved the day. All the men distin- guished themselves, and creditable ruus must be noted for Baker, Hatch, Donner, Walker and Thompson, of Yale, while Tray, Morewood, Price, Hammond and one or two others, of Columbia, kept up their side grandly. ‘Time’ wag called with Yale baying the bail infront of their opponents’ fortress. for Yale and none for Columbia, though seeming a bad defeat, is not so in reality, as, taking imto considera- tion the weather and its short practice, the home clud did weil. On tho side of the victors wil played excep- tionally well, Captain Baker sometimes doing the work of three men. The teams were us follows :— Yatx—é. V. Baker (captain), W. L. Bigelow (backs) ; W. D. Hatch, 0, D. Thompson, W. C. Camp (hall backs); W. V. Donner, W. H. Taylor, R. Wurts, G, H. Clarke, N. U. Walker, W. C, Camp (forwards). Conumna—W. H. Radford, W. F. Morgan (back: G. M. Hammonds, W. H. Ward (halt bi Price (captain), W. E, Hildreth, J. W. Pryor, E, M. ‘train, F. D, Weeks, G. Del. Brower, H. F. Morewood (forwards), Umpire for Yale—G. 'T, Elliot, of Yale. Umpire tor Columbia—W, H. DeForest, of Columbia, Reteree—Mr. Seamans, of Harvard. THE NATIONAL GAME, ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL BALI, CLUBS, The National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs met at the Kennard House, Thursday at noon, mM. G Bulkley, President of the association, being absent, Mr, N. P. Apollonio, President of the Boston Club, was called to the chair, The Board of Directors submitted @ report recommending that the Athletics of Philadel- phia, and Mutuals, of New York, be expelled from the League. Alter considerable discussion the report wi unanimousiy avopted. The Board also reported that the championsmp of the League had been awarded to the Coicago club, Various chauges were made in the rules of the Lengue. By these the first, second and third bases are enlarged to fificen inches square. Each was tormerly but a ,oot square, It was decided that the home nine #hull always go to the bat, instead of ‘tossing up,’’ as has jormerly been the rule, aud that a fair ball sball Dot be lower than the knee, COCK FIGHTING. Whatever may be said by Brother Bergh and others against cock fighting it stilt exists. A number of the lovers of the sport assembled at Mitchell’s, a wely known sporting house in Williamsburg, on Thanksgiv- ing evening, and there arranged a main to be fought between eleven or thirteen cocks, for all that weighed m, for $500 a side and $1,000 the odd battle, South Brooklyn and New Jersey aro the con, testants, but the maim will mot be fought for probably two weeks. Several matches have taken place since then, but the most noticeable was one, and the first main of the season, that was fought in Will- jamsburg on Friday last, between Gardner and Will- jams. The fight was for five birds each, $100 a side. For the first battle Gardner brought in a red and Williams showed a dark pyle. A lively fight sued, in which Gardner’s bird was badly cat up, but succeeded in winning the first battle in 4m. For the uext fight Gardner showed up a spangle, a beautifui cock, and Williams brought out a black-red, The fight was a tough one, lasting 7m., when the bluck-red fell, unable to rise. {ho third ight was between a spangle, entered by Gardner, and a blue pyle, entered by Williams. The spangle proved to be a duffer and ran away early in the fight, the pyle being left master of the field in 34gm. ‘The next battle was between a blue pyle sent in by Gardner and a black-red by Williama, The latter won the battle easily, the pyle proving to be a coward, Time, 3m. This made the battles even, and for the deciding battle Gardner brought out a spiendid spangle, Will- jams showing an equally good black-red. The fight was a good one, lasting eleven minutes, when Williams? bird sank dead, with’a gaff in his throat, giving the vic- tory to Gardner. >everal mains are on the tapis, but nothing definite has yet been decided excepting the main between South Brooklyn and New Jersey, on which deposits have been made. The old cocks will not be in condi- tion to fight fora few weeks, and the only fight that can take place will be bewween young birds, “novices in the ring.”” O’LEAKY AND CROSSLAND. THREE HUNDRED MILES WALKING MATCH FOR TWO HUNDRED POUNDS. {From the London Sportsman, November 24.} Tho great match between these long distance walkers, which com menced on Monday evening at the Pomona Gardens, Manchester, entered yesterday (Thursday) on its lust phase, and an unusuaily large number of spec- tators gathered in the ball during the afternoon. Both men retired at ten minutes to eleven on Wednesday night, and did not resume their journey until a few minutes past one in the morning, O'Leary being tho first to put in an appearance. Tho American, who commenced to walk rather siowly, completed bis 197th mile at 1b. 9m. 24s. At cighteen minutes past enc he was joined by Crossland, and the latter Jed the way, about eight yards separating them, at an increased paco till forty-nine minutes past two, when O'Leary loft the track and rested till close upon three. When Jett to himself Crossland mado a gume effort to make up bis leeway, and at ton minutes past three only one mile and one lap separated them, and at thirty-nine minutes past four Crossland left the track, having then accomplished 210 miles, He then partook of a chop, some toast, half a pint of beer ana a cup of tea, After this nourishment be came out again and walked slowly Uil a few minutes past six A. M., when O'Leary, who had then covered nearly 217 miles, retired for five minutes, At haif-past six Crossland, having bo- come drowsy, sough¢ repose in bed for half an hour, and on resuming it was evident that his leg bad again given way, so that he was compelled afterward to frequently seek the aid of Tom Noble, who throughout has been unremitting 1a his attention. At teu o'clock yesterday (Thursday) morning O'Leary was leading vy jully ten miles, going at @ fair speed. Atsix minutes to eleven he retired tor nearly an hour, during which time he partook of some reireshments. Crossland again came on the track, and alihough apparentiy in great pain succeeded in reducing the gup, 4s ab fifteen Minutes past ‘¢ he had compleged 230 miles to the American’s 237. The Shellicide?, however, wus again obliged to leave off walking at 12h. 44m, while O'Leary continued till twenty-three minutes past one, having then registered 242 miles, He Vhen rested tll forty-tive minutes past one, and on again emerging he Was accompanied for afew laps by Arthur Chambers, the weil known light werht pugil- ist, who only returned the previoug day irom America. In order to show the speed at which he was stiil cap- able o1 moving it may be stated that O' 'y covered his 246th mile in 12m, 26%. At five minutes to three Crossiand, who had been absent fuliy two bours, emerged Irom his root, aud although be was fourteen mies and a hali in the rear and had vo earthiy chance ot winning, he moved along pluckily though lowly. ‘As he progressed, however, be moreased his pace and dit his 234th mile in 14m. $s, whieh, considering tho difficulties under which he jabored, was wonderiuily quick. However, he did not remain long on the track, as ho retired alter complowing his 235th mile, while O'Leary accomplished his 250 mile at a quarter to tour in tae wlternvon, This parcot the journey had thus occupied the American 67h. 44in, and he was then fifteen mi in front. the ena of the = 250:h = mt O'Leary rested for civse upon two Lours, bis antagonist dom the same.

The witness was closely examined to the owner- ship of the farm and residence at Darien, Conn. where ne resided. When asked who owned the prop- erty he answered, the titie was in his wife’s name. ‘The question was repeated and objected to by Mr, Bangs on the ground that while the wife of his client might hold the titie to the property it might belong to some one else. Mr Brown explained tbat his object in asking the question was to show the connection be- tween tbe estate and tue assets of the bankrupt firm, The objection was sustained, The witness then stated that the property was pur. chased some years ago and that hig wife hud advanced a certain sum toward tho purchase, and now held the title deed as security for the repayment of the same, subject to any claim that the assignee migtt bave. ‘The property, if sold to-day, would not pay her clai He was further examined concerning his relatios with the frm of Duncan, Sherman & Co, and bis knowledge of the condition of their Anancial aflairs at different times before the failure.

Wat Street, } Sarvrpar, Doc. 9—6 P. iu} The Lake Shore people, like persisteot burdy gure dyists, ground out precisely (he sametune to-day that they did yesterday, and ran the gamut of precisely the same fluctuations. A progress {rom 56% to 573¢ and back again to 5654, where it halted finally, gave sufficient opportunity for another day’s miiking, which the big operators pushed to their advantage and the little ones submitted to with the Idiotic meek. ness that distinguishes them, To make the per- formance more attractive it was whispered that the railroad people were again puttung their heads together in hopes that their united wisdom might evolve some plan of settlement, and later on it was announced that nothing had come of the opposition but the usual agreement to disagree, The fact appears to be that no meeting whatever had taken place and that the whole story was merely afurbishing up of the old bait to caich gudgeons, which has been so successfully set on foriner occasions. But, uulike the preceding days of the week, the entire interest of the market was not confined to tho favors ite, Although the main show was ss attrac. tive as over there were some new and unex- pected annexes opened to speculative ox- amination, which invited and merited attention. Among these were Central and Hudson and Erie ag most suspicious, The Vanderbilt stock, which usually lies as torpid as a gorged boa constrictor, woke up to quite an unlooked for and spirited trade, in the course of which the price was carried from 1024¢ to 10434 and back in to 103 on transfers of about 3,000 shures, By some the activity was thought to be a diversion in tavor of the Lake Shore speculation, and by others 1t ‘was attributed to the flattering reports of the come pany’s earnings, which for the last quarter are said to be immense, being in figures something like $1,500,000 surplus over and above the dividend. In Erie dealgs wero unusually large at figures which ranged from 934 to 8g. 1¢ was impossible to learn the why or wherefore, business being conducted in those foreign gutturals which have their home on the borders of the Rhine, and which, to the writor, seem like dislocations of an unknown tongue, In tak- ing into consideration a change in the commission law will the Governing Committee kindly discuss the necessity of establishing a German Professorship tor the Stock Exchange? The St, Paul stocks were steady and dull, the Northwesterns lively and lower, suffering possibly from the unusual excitement of declaring a dividend, Western Union, as the best card of tho miscellaneous pack, seems to be invariably trumped when played tor 7244. Gould appears to be the raw head and bloody bones that stands in the way, and despite of the as- sured future ruin which is popularly meted out to him on account of bis heavy short interest in the stock, he seems to be an unpalatable morsel to the pool who think they are having enough of his contracts already. Gold sank to 107, for reasons prevalent during the week and still existing, and a still further declino is looked tor. ‘The sales to-day aggregated 112,000 shares, which were chiefly distributed among Lake Shore, Delaware and Lackawanna, Michigan Central, New York Central, ‘Western Union, Pacific Mail aud Northwest preferred, OPENING, HIGREST AND LOWEST PRICES.
